Dias is an institution amongst Cape Town locals. It’s one of those places that arrived wrapped in a time bubble complete with trinkets stolen from Portuguese grandmothers. If an Atom Bomb hit Lower Gardens, Dias would still be standing. Serving slightly chewy steaks and decorated with enough beer sponsored posters, lamps, flags, placemats, lightboxes, signboards, table covers, fridges, chair cushions and branded glasses to jungle up a antique store. It’s a sports bar slash cave of feel-good. The perfect spot to watch the World Cup Final with friends.
